How to write a successful Resume
Posted June 28th, 2010 by dasalmightyYou know you’re good…real good. The problem, though, is that
You are struggling to demonstrate just how good you are on paper.
Ah…the resume. If you’ve ever written one you know what a
Challenging task it can be.
Here are some tips from Gregg Reference Manual;
- The purpose of your resume is to get you an employment meeting, an interview. Your resume will not get you a job.
- Your resume is not a medium for telling prospective employers about your long-term goals and aspirations. It is where you appeal to their hiring motivations by demonstrating what you can do for them, communicating the experience you have acquired and skills you have developed.
With these basic concepts in mind, let’s summarize several other elements that your contemporary resume must include:
R = Review of your qualifications
E = Essential information only
S = Showcase your value
U = you are Unique!
M = Market yourself
E = effectively gets you noticed
R = Review of your qualifications:
What skills, education, or experience (paid or unpaid) do you have that make you the ideal candidate for the opportunity, industry, or career you are pursuing? These data bits are the building blocks of any resume. They are absolute musts.
Most self-written resumes do a pretty decent job of listing skills and education, but fail miserably in the Experience section.
More on how to address this challenge when we get to the “S” below.
E = Essential information only
Your resume should not be a voluminous listing of everything you have done, everywhere you have done it, and every club or association you’ve ever been affiliated with. Chisel your copy down to content that is relevant to your target job/career path.
Suppose you are a marketing professional. Your memberships in the American Marketing Association, the Direct Marketing Association, and the Public Relations Society of America belong on your resume.
How to Choose the Right Partner
Posted June 13th, 2010 by dasalmightyDo you have an ideal partner sketched out in your head? Perhaps you have a
shopping list of “must have” traits. If so, you are not alone. The
most common characteristics people want in their partners include honesty, intelligence,
sense of humor, openness to new ideas, stability, communication, common hobbies
and interests, and willingness to work on the relationship to make it succeed.
Though men and women might seek similar traits in a partner, research has
demonstrated that each individual focuses on different qualities. Men typically
want a relationship that allows autonomy, while women look for a sense of
connection.
To begin your quest to find the right partner, think about the traits and
behaviors you prefer. Most people automatically think of superficial traits
such as “height” or “blue eyes.” Though these traits
can be important, other traits are more important when it comes to having a
healthy, long-term relationship. Here is a list of some important qualities to
consider:
Commitment to personal growth
Is interested in learning how to be a better person and spouse.
Ways To Express Your Love!
Posted June 7th, 2010 by sunny
Everyone wants to love and feel loved in return. But being in a relationship with someone is not always enough. Very often romantic love fizzles out over a period of time; even though both partners are committed to each other. After a while the 'I love you', gets monotonous so you need to find other ways of expressing your love to your partner.
Some of us instinctively know our own love language and that of our partners, but other times it's hard to figure the best way to show your love. Think about what makes you feel most loved by your partner and what you desire more than anything else. Do you like it when your partner compliments you often? Do you feel special when he/she goes out of his/her way to do something for you? For some lovers just getting some alone time with their partners is more valuable than being showered with gifts. Try and figure out what makes your partner happy from the following list and then show him/her how much you really care.
Positive Re-affirmation
Words of affirmation are more than just compliments - they are ways of expressing your thanks and sincerity to your partner. Sometimes despite being in a very happy relationship partners need a little reminder to know how much the other person cares. If you are the one in need of some affirmation, tell your partner that it makes you feel more secure knowing that he/she loves you. Compliments are always appreciated, so next time your lover does something for you reward him/her with some sweet words.
